First trip out
First trip out all went smooth other than I noticed my power trim cylinder is leaking for the 3rd year in a row. But got the boy into some awesome crappie fishing he got 10 great crappie an a perch. The water temp was already 65. Was a great day! When cooking crappie what do u do while preparing them they taste like nothing?

Re: First trip out
Kim from FL is the food expert here, but what I'd recommend, is to drink a lot of beer while preparing the fish. Then, it won't matter what it tastes like!

Re: First trip out
My wife likes Tilapia which also tastes like nothing. First fillet 'em, then wash 'em in water, powder 'em with flour, dip 'em in egg, coat 'em with seasoned panko bread crumbs, and pan fry 'em in olive oil. I then make a brown butter balsamic sauce. First you add about 1/2 stick of butter in a sauce pan. Cook on medium heat until the butter turns brown and smells nutty. Then add an equal amount of balsamic vinegar and boil for a few minutes. This is one of my wifes favorite reciepes. Damn, I'm making myslef hungry.

Re: First trip out
Cut'em into bite sized pieces...bread them with Andy's Cajun breading...deep fry them in 350degree peanut oil...between each batch of fish...put in some thin sliced potatoes that become bar chips...take out the chips when light brown and sprinkle with Lawery's seasoned salt....
p.s.....the tater chips clean the oil and you can't taste the fish in the chips!!

Re: First trip out
Salt and pepper boneless crappie filets, dip in egg/milk mixture and throw into a ziplock plastic bag 1/3 full of corn meal and shake good. Then, fry crappie @ 350 degrees in oil--preferably peanut oil. We cook catfish the same way.
Nothing slides down the throat like a boneless crappie filet.
Note: I also have discovered panko crumbs, and often use them for breading just about everything. If you use 1/2 panko crumbs and 1/2 parmesan cheese, it makes a great breading for baking chicken, fish and pork. It's even better than Shake and Bake.
